Called parts today at my dealer...he said its still showing "no movement" and they are still waiting for BMW to get inventory. The part was ordered for me on 10/27. They said it would hopefully be here 11/8...what gives BMW

Hmm, my dealer called me today (on a side note, they've been great about staying in contact with me) and said that he got upper management involved and they are working with the national parts network to get me a set of tail lights ASAP since I can't get the car inspected and the failure occurred literally the day I got the car.

Does anyone know what the actual problem is with the lights? I'm very tempted to take the tail light out and attempt a repair myself.

I have read, and correct me if this is wrong, that it's a corrosion problem on the LED terminals. I guess the lights are not properly sealed against moisture.

Service manager from my dealer just called and they got one set of new tail lights in and want to make sure that they go on my car. Dropping by this evening after work to get them installed. Now I can get my car inspected and be legal again

I still havent heard from my dealer. Next week will be a month since they were ordered...

Whether it's actually true or not, my dealer said that my "case" was a priority since the tail light failed the day I got the car and because the car needs to be inspected immediately since it was purchased out of state.
